Cowboy

Well, it's true he'd always been a traveler
The kind a woman never tries to rope
Maybe he never really loved me
The truth is, I didn't want to know

Oh cuz that just would have made it harder
to find a smile when it was time to let him go

Maybe he wants to be cowboy
Lord I know how much he loves to roam
I can't say that I really blame him, oh
Someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters if I ever sent them he'd see
That's the hardest that I ever tried not to let somebody love me

Maybe if he knew all my secrets
Maybe he could write another song
Sure it might be a sad story
But maybe with the ending that I wanted all along

Cuz I've saved all my pennies for the well
It was just my wishes that were wrong

Maybe he wants to be cowboy
Lord I know how much he loves to roam
I can't say that I really blame him, oh
Someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters if I ever sent them he'd see
That's the hardest that I ever tried not to let somebody love me
